Operation Overview (continued) In most cases, setting the pump at the lower speeds for the longer durations is the best strategy to minimize energy consumption. However, conditions may require running the pump at a higher speed for some duration of time each day to maintain proper filtration and achieve satisfactory sanitation. The pool size, presence of additional water features, chemicals used to maintain sanitary conditions, and local environmental factors will impact optimal programming necessary to maximize energy conservation.
these things should be taken into consideration when Using the Default Schedule setting the priming speed, however in most cases the pump will not need to run at 3450 RPM to successfully The default schedule is designed to provide enough daily prime itself.
5. Use the “+” and “-” buttons to adjust the daily start time Custom Schedules and Quick Clean for SPEED 1. To customize the run schedule for your Variable Speed 6. Press the “1” button again and the display will change to Pump, the pump must be stopped.
Pressing any of the Speed Buttons (“1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, Speed Priorities “Quick Clean”) while the pump is running will act as Since 24 hours is the maximum number of hours in a day, temporary override. It will run the speed and duration the pump schedule will not allow durations exceeding this that is programmed for that button.
MAINTENANCE DO NOT open the strainer pot if Variable Speed Pump fails to prime or if pump has been operating without water in the strainer pot. Pumps operated in these circumstances may experience a build up of vapor pressure and may contain scalding hot water. Opening the pump may cause serious personal injury.
SERVICING Always disconnect power to the Variable Speed Pump at the circuit breaker and disconnect the communication cable before servicing the pump. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury to service people, users or others due to electric shock.
DO NOT run the pump dry. If the pump is run dry, the mechanical seal will be damaged and the pump will start leaking. If this occurs, the damaged seal must be replaced. ALWAYS maintain proper water level. If the water level falls below the suction port, the pump will draw air through the suction port, losing the prime and causing the pump to run dry, resulting in a damaged seal.
TROUBLESHOOTING Diagnosing certain symptoms may require close interaction with, or in close proximity to, components that are energized with electricity. Contact with electricity can cause death, personal injury, or property damage. When trouble shooting the pump, diagnostics involving electricity should be cared for by a qualified individual. SCENARIO: POSSIBLE CAUSE: SUGGESTED ACTION:...
Errors and Alarms If an fault is detected, the screen will display the error code text and the Variable Speed Pump will stop running. Disconnect power to the pump and wait until the keypad LEDs have all turned off. At this point, reconnect power to the pump. If the error has not cleared, then troubleshooting will be required.
